Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

With single-vehicle wrecks, there’s always the concern that they may not be getting the attention they deserve. Authorities rarely prioritize them, so things like mechanical issues, medical conditions, road defects, and other complex possible factors tend to slip through the cracks. Inevitably, that leads to situation where victims are blamed for something they couldn’t avoid. I certainly can’t say if this is one of those situations, but I would discourage anyone from drawing conclusions here until the evidence can speak for itself.
